Hi,

I am running ES 2.4.6; I have multiple "client" nodes with the config:

```
     node.data: false
     node.master: false

```

However in the \_cluster/stats output, they're not listed as client nodes at all.

```
"nodes": {
  "count": {
    "total": 14,
    "master_only": 3,
    "data_only": 8,
    "master_data": 0,
    "client": 0
  },
"versions": [
  "2.4.6"
],

```

Do I have my client nodes configured correctly for the client role?

This relates back to [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/16963](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/16963) I think.

What does `_cat/nodes?v` show?
